Would be wild to find out in 2026, Valve had the Steam Machine processors built with OnChip eDRAM. They could skip the whole AI-Memory-pocolypse. Wild, I know.

Quoting: Renzatic GearWeird question, but can you get rid of those borders around the active window?

Yes, just reduce the Active Window Hint size to 0.

I switched to popos when Beta dropped. Very similar to Gnome. Cosmic is very light weight, at least for now. The fan on my MiniPC hasn't needed to spin up since I switched. I'm never going back to Gnome if System76 keeps this up. The only thing I am missing is digitizer support. I'm not an artist, but I do use a digitizer for white boarding (dark dark blue boarding???) with Lorien. They have Cosmic support for a bunch of distros out there. Definitely worth a go.

Quoting: psycho_driverCan you use their terminal as a quake style drop down mode?

Not that I see. I don't see a feature like that in COSMIC Terminal. Loved Guake for that. Saddly had to let it go in favor of a slimmer and lighter apps on my miniPC.

They haven't even finished the release candidate yet. How can they release now?

Wow, I wonder how many other mainstream projects switched gears because of Valve's Steam Machine and Steam Frame announcement.

Quoting: LestibournesI wonder, since Valve is now the OS vendor, if it can't implement its own kernel-level anticheat and let the game devs or anticheat devs make use of it.

Yes they can. Or, they can roll their own kernel level support. It wouldn't stop the cheaters, just like it doesn't stop them on Windows. However, a one size fits all solution from Valve that doesn't hand over super user controls to each game dev, I'm sure would be more acceptable to security conscious Linux users. This is what Microsoft has been promising for decades, especially after the recent CrowdStrike blunder. I'm sure Windows users will never see it though.

I don't think it matters what anti cheat solutions Valve implements. They can already compile their kernel with eBPF(https://ebpf.io/) support. Then each game could dynamically program (or Valve could) the kernel for anti cheat. Okay, but that doesn't happen, as of yet. That's because, as game devs have stated, they just can't battle the cheaters on two fronts. Maybe one day Valve will offer a compelling solution that reduces the load of the game devs. I doubt it though, it's PC, so no matter the eco system, Windows or Linux, it's a free-for-all by design. As long as these games do peer 2 peer match making and hosting, I don't think any of this will change.

The container acts like a regular distro so you can sudo apt install or sudo pacman -S and changes will survive unlike docker.

Docker does the same. Just don't purge the container. They are all different ways of working with containers. Containers work the same.
